Multiple discord bots on startup

[Donut]

Hello, im trying to start multiple discord bots on startup, the first bot starts fine but the other ones do not, here is the code from my rc.local

``
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

cd /home/bot-1
node index.js
cd /home/bot-2
node index.js
cd /home/bot-3
node index.js
cd /home/bot-4
node index.js
cd /home/bot-5
node index.js

exit 0``

Can't you just send the node commands to background by adding a trailing " &"?

Im not too sure what that means..

There’s definitely a better way to do this than how you are doing it. haha

Such as?

I believe that since a node.js app usually runs until it is ended or terminated, and that it occupies the terminal that'd make you unable to run more commands, so I'd try to add a " &" to your commands, i.e
node index.js &
That'd send the command to the background yet the stdout would still be attached to the terminal but you'd be able to run new commands, or you can use a terminal multiplexer to run each instances in a different terminal.

You could make them systemd services and enable them to make them start at boot.
